"Get a life, if I want to eat meat, drink milk, have an egg for breakfast, it is my choice."
Yes, legally you have that choice. But morally it is not just your choice. What if some aliens came to Earth and decided to kill and eat your children just because they liked the taste? (They had plenty of other food they could eat.) Would that be just a matter of personal choice for those aliens?
So why is it any different when you decide to kill and eat a sentient being or enslave them in order to steal their eggs? You sound a lot like the slave owners in the South 150 years ago.
"Do you really believe this country can feed its self on veggies and fruit alone. Not hardly, and how long will it take before the environmentalists cry foul for the misuse of the land?"
The land can actually feed many more people when used for vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, seeds and nuts rather than when it is used to feed animals. That is because it takes multiple pounds of plant protein to produce one pound of animal protein. Meat-eating in the wealthier nations causes the loss of rain forest for grazing land and also to grow soy beans which are mainly used to feed animals.
"So I think it is time the animal activists check their emotions at the door and let consumers have the freedom of choice and stop with the lies."
Well excuse me for having some emotions about the 10 billion land animals killed every year in the United States just because people like how they taste. I also didn't see any lies in the original article. De-horning and tail docking are done routinely to cows without any pain medication. I won't even talk about what dairy farmers themselves call the "rape rack", the fate of male calves, the short lifespan of farmed animals, etc.
